At Toshmaidan, Kashmir, deglaciation started in 15000 B.P. (Singh \*et al.\* 1976). In the n. salt lakes of Rajasthan the climate became wetter in around 10500 B.P. compared to the preceding arid phase \[cf. 7.4\]. This suggests that the glacial conditions in the n. are equatable to the arid conditions and deglaciation with wetter conditions. The available evidence indicates that \*c.\* 10000 B.P. is the boundary of the Pleistocene-Holocene. - [Previous: v1.c14.s8.t3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t3.1) - [Next: v1.c14.s8.t3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t3.3) - [Up: v1.c14.s8.t3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c14.s8.t3.2) · Pramāṇa
